Selena was so elated when she opened the door that night and saw Dominic standing on the porch with his arms in his pocket and a flower in his hands. "You're here." She grinned and threw her hands across his shoulders, embracing him and inhaling his scent but she noticed something about him. He was a bit stiff, not as receptive as he used to be and she was a bit gob-smacked."Are you okay? Was the trip okay? Where is Eleanor?" She stopped talking when she saw Eleanor standing at the car and waving at her. She took another glance at him before whispering. "Eleanor is okay, why are you behaving as though there was a problem? Did anyone die? Your warriors?" She fired at him but Dominic didn't reply She began to panic and wonder what was wrong with him. She yelped when he lifted her from the ground and kissed her deeply. " What is going on?" She replied after blinking from the daze of the aftermath."I missed you, let's go. Eleanor would drive your car home." He replied and she stared
"You can come in already ma'am." A lady whom Selena was guessing was a secretary told her when she walked into the consortium the next morning.Dominic had gone to work before she woke up and when she was leaving, Eleanor told her that he had requested that she be brought here. She pushed the door open slowly and saw Dominic standing in the middle of the lobby probably waiting for her and she stared at him warily. " What happened to us not coming here yet?" She cocked her head and he chuckled at her words.Of course, she was going to think that it wouldn't come to actualization after all these years of promising her but he was here to surprise her. " Well, you are here now and I don't think anyone has the right to question your presence. Let's go. The head of the consortium is waiting for us." He said and stretched out his palm.Selena's heels clicked against the tiles as she followed him into the elevator. " This is so surreal." She whispered when she saw a bunch of employees starin
Dominic chuckled at the stupidity that his soon-in-laws always loved portraying. It didn't baffle him that they would always find a way to make sure that it looked like they won and it made him always laugh them to scorn."Camara you should caution your fiance. He can't go around embarrassing himself everywhere he goes. It's improper." Selena slammed her sister.Camara's eyes narrowed at her sister who was feeling very pompous just because she was riding an exotic car."I don't think this discussion is for you. It's man-to-man. Let them speak. I know that you probably have some money stashed somewhere that you're using to fund this lifestyle. I won't be here to sympathize with you when the bank comes knocking." Dominic smirked at the duo who had allowed bitterness to est into them deeply that they were beginning to have a distorted view of things. " I don't have the time for this." He said and dragged Selena along. Gone are the times when he exchanged words with such persons. They h
Dominic smirked when his phone beeped and saw the message from Martha. Silas would be pulling his hair wherever he was and that thought made him more elated than anyone in the world.Selena noticed this and peeped into his phone screen but couldn't see it well because of the thickness of the glass."Did you strike a deal?" She inquired because he looked so happy and she wanted to know what was the reason for his joy. "It's just a message from Martha telling them that she doesn't want to have anything to do with them." He spoke and she grinned."Oh my goodness. They are going to be so mad at us." She replied and he stared at her. "I can already imagine their faces. Did you tell her to do that? So that I could work there?" She inquired just to be sure.Dominic had a sly smirk on his face and shook his head but she had a hard time believing that it was true. " I didn't tell her what to do. She's not someone who is easily bendable. It makes everything easier." "Oh, boy. I can imagine how
Dominic raised his head when Selena walked up. "I would like to have a review of this letter later. There is something wrong but I can't figure it out right now." He said.Emily and Todd rose softly and walked towards the door, exiting quietly. Selena rounded the table with a questioning look on her face. She stared at him for a minute before asking what was wrong. "What is wrong with the letter?" "It doesn't seem authentic. I'll scan it and confirm." Dominic said as he printed a copy from the printer beside him. "Okay... So, what do we do if it turns out to be fake?" She inquired and he shrugged. She cocked her head to understand what was actually happening.She knew that he was not going to let it slide but the way he was playing it cool was making her wary. "Are you sure?" She asked. "I don't know my reaction yet until I get to the root of the matter." He repliedShe stared at him for a minute before nodding softly. "Is there anything that I need to know...?" "What did your mo
"Don't stop me from coming to greet my people." The voice said and a hand pushed Emily away from the door. it was none other than their beloved in-law standing in the midst of the room. " I heard what you did to my nephew." He fired and they stared at him as though he was speaking Latin. "What nephew?" Selena replied and she later nodded in understanding. How could she forget her dear people? Oh, it was none other than the famous uncle."It's a pleasure to finally meet your acquaintance." She said and he didn't say anything. his eyes wandered towards the person behind the mishap. "I'm sorry about everything that must have happened to you." Selena added.Dominic's eyes were hooded as he stared at the clown in front of him who was making a fool of himself. He didn't think that this family had an iota of shame in their eyes."I don't know what you are doing here and i frankly do not care but for the sake of politeness, grab your things and leave." He said.Silas' uncle stared at the li
"... There was a fire at the mine...""I will return soon. Eleanor is coming over." He replied, pulling out his company phone to dial her number instantly."Eleanor, take the quickest flight back to Victoria." "Yes, sir." Having to fly over to Victoria at the slightest beck and call was getting exhausting for him. It was as though, different problems chose to attack his people and now he realized that it was planned. There was certainly a group of people who were committed to making sure that he was always busy throwing hands but he could see through them.It wouldn't be surprising if all of these were Anderson's handiwork that was the only plausible explanation that he could generate and as usual his instincts were always right."I'm guessing that's Victoria. What's always happening back there? Is there someone who is threatened by you?" Selena piped in and he shrugged softly. Having an opposition wasn't a new occurrence so he was sparsely bothered about all the shenanigans that co
Two hours later Dominic's plane touched down at Victoria. Selena looked through the windows like a child who was taken sightseeing and was pleased with what she saw. "This is beautiful. It's serene even." Dominic chuckled softly. " Well, you've not seen the rest of my town." He replied as the attendant helped in packing their bags. They walked out slowly and he pulled out an umbrella for her.The sun was scorching. That was the first thing Selena noticed when she alighted from the plane. " Thank you. Now I can see why you asked me to bring sunscreen along." He shrugged and pulled her closer to him, locking hands with her as they trekked to the car that was waiting for them together. It was a wholesome experience for her and she was elated that she would be seeing his town.Meanwhile, Dominic dreaded that anything bad came to her. " Can you see how quiet this place is? I don't think Keister can ever be that way. They enjoy the noise. I don't know why." She muttered. " And the street
